Me and my boyfriend (age 18 and 19) are planning on taking a summer roadtrip across America, starting in Palm Beach, Florida. We don't really know what path to take, yet our main destination points will be California, New York, and Ohio, but we want to experience a lot of the other exciting places America has to offer. We also are planning on staying at his family's house in Portland, Oregon. Our time limit is the summer, so we have about 3 months for this trip.
My main questions are:
  • How much money should we set aside for food? Accommodations?
  • Which car(s) would be most cost and safety efficient for this trip?
  • What other places would you reccommend us to visit?
  • Overall, how much money do you think would be necessary for this trip?


Also, should we rent/buy and electric car? My father said it would be a lot more cost efficient for our roadtrip.

Thank you, and all other advice would be greatly appreciated.
